   Are school staff aware when students are being bullied? Points of View

   A major DfE survey "Growing up in the 2020s" has found that 31% of students affected by bullying said that staff were aware, with 33% saying they were not and 36% being unsure. The survey, conducted by UCL and the Anna Freud Centre, will follow 8000 students in England, currently aged 12 and 13, through their secondary school experience. The results reported are the first collected. The survey also revealed that girls and students with SEND were least likely to feel a sense of belonging. Students with SEND were more likely to experience bullying, with 11% reporting daily or weekly physical bullying, and 20% reporting regular occurrences of other forms of bullying, such as exclusion from friendship groups and name-calling. The findings also show significant statistics on lesson disruption, absence, mental health, and perceived fairness. On Points of View tonight, the panel will discuss what the survey's findings mean. Does it raise important questions about how we understand bullying in schools? What can schools do to address the issues raised by the survey? What additional support might be needed for those who are struggling to build friendships? Join Michael Wright, Maud Waret, Ollie Bayliss and Liz Webb for this episode of Points of View.

   Who`s Watching the Classroom? Smart Glasses, Phones and Protecting Children: The Late Show with Tim Smale

   Tim Smale is joined by Guy Holder, Head of PSHE for a frank conversation about the technology arriving in children's lives faster than schools can keep up. Camera-equipped smart glasses are on sale on the high street, and Guy is campaigning to have them banned. Tim and Guy ask what these glasses mean for consent, for safeguarding and for anyone who could be filmed in a classroom without knowing it. They also get into phone pouches versus brick-phone-only schools, whether 16 should be the minimum age for smartphones, social media and AI, and what teachers can do when Big Tech feels too big to challenge.
